Jazz (airline)
Jazz Aviation LP, operating as Jazz is a Canadian regional airline based at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Enfield and Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chorus Aviation.
It is Canada's second largest airline (in terms of fleet size) operating as Air Canada Express for Air Canada to 84 destinations in Canada and the United States. Under a Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA), Air Canada sets the Jazz route network and flight schedule, and purchases all of Jazz’s seat capacity based on predetermined rates. Its main base is Halifax Stanfield International Airport, with hubs at Toronto Pearson International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, and Calgary International Airport.
In April 2011, Air Canada decided to retire the Air Canada Jazz brand and created a new identity for its regional operations, Air Canada Express, coinciding with the relaunch of services from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport but operated by Sky Regional Airlines under the Air Canada Express brand.

Famous quotes containing the word jazz:
“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
